What is CVE-2020-9289?
The vulnerability arises from the use of a hard-coded cryptographic key within the CLI configuration of FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer, versions 6.2.3 and earlier. This issue permits an attacker with access to either the CLI configuration or a backup file to potentially decrypt sensitive data, leading to unauthorized access to crucial information. The presence of a hard-coded key significantly undermines the integrity of password encryption and poses risks to the security of the devices.
